By The Ides Of March. By James M. Peterik. Arranged by Dennis Ruello. Contemporary. Score and parts. 30 pages. Chicory Music #5725181. Published by Chicory Music (A0.734441)."Vehicle" is a song recorded by American rock band The Ides of March for their debut studio album of the same name (1970). It was released as the lead single from the album in March 1970 through Warner Bros. Records. Written by vocalist and frontman Jim Peterik, the song is about a girl that often used him for his mode of transportation, leading Peterik to surmise that he was little more than her "vehicle". The arrangement includes a distinctive horn section riff, which caused some listeners to mistake the band for Blood, Sweat and Tears, who were also popular in that era.
"Vehicle" was a commercial success, and was purported to be the fastest-selling single in the history of Warner Bros. at that time. It peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, while reaching the top 5 in Canada and top 30 in the United Kingdom. Despite this, the Ides of March never had another hit single, leaving them one-hit wonders. This arrangement includes Full Score, Voice, Trumpet, Alto sax, Tenor Sax, Trombone, Guitar, Electric Piano, Electric Bass, and Drum Set
Performance Time Approx. 3 min. 50 sec.
